We where also told this. I am located in Homebush and we have fleet of around 25 Ford's that where all purchased and serviced by Jubilee. We also received our letter today, but was told late last year they where closing by the Boss. His primary reason sited the $1.5million per year rent for that site.
Now that is alot of sales and oil changes!
